... , the approximating sums S1,n = 1+ ½+ 1/3+ 1/4+ . . .+ 1/n+ . . . also increase to infinity. Hence we must write s1 = +[infinity] In such a case we call the series divergent. A divergent series is useless for computing a physically meaningful answer. In the main text we noted that for planetary configurations involving small eccentricities and inclinations Simon Newcomb had in 1874 proved the existence of formal (possibly divergent), infinite-series, exact, almost-periodic solutions of Newton's equations of gravitational motion for the osculating elements of the planetary orbits. But the work of Poincaré and Arnol'd already discussed ...
542. The Ultimate Catastrophe? [Journals] [Kronos]
... " (emphasis added). In this context, Webster defines SANCTIONS as "the enacting of penalties for disobedience of a rule of conduct." In a rebuttal to my article, "The Ultimate Catastrophe," the senior professional physicist of those who are pushing for all-out expansion of nuclear power - Hans Bethe (1967 Nobel Laureate in Physics) - wrote as follows: (5 ) "In the November 1975 issue of the Bulletin, H. C. Dudley (3 ) claimed that it is possible that an atomic weapon might ignite a thermonuclear reaction in the atmosphere (or the ocean) and thus destroy the earth. This claim is nonsense. Dudley's claim is ...
543. Velikovsky in America [Journals] [Aeon]
... Britain. Through his reconstruction of the past, Velikovsky could wage sublimated warfare against the defeats of the past and the dangers of the present. His Hyksos/Amalekites were the Bronze Age Nazis who went down to defeat at the hands of the first Jewish king. The heroes of his epic reconstruction were Jewish nationalists who stood for "the physical defense of the physical Jewish people." In that summer of 1940, Velikovsky conceived both the historical reconstruction of Ages in Chaos and the cosmic drama of Worlds in Collision. In the former, he could march as the conquistador of history, righting the wrongs of the past to balance the evils of the present. In the latter ...
544. Recent Developments [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Velikovsky to be supporters of his ideas or at least to be constructively sympathetic to them. The quality of the articles printed varied, as did the degree of the scientific detachment of the writers, and the magazine could not help occasionally appearing to sceptics like a house journal of a small, revolutionary sect. An eminent British professor of physics described issue no. IV, which had been sent to him, as follows. "I hope you will forgive me for saying that most of it reads much more like one of the tracts of Jehovah's Witnesses than it does as a serious contribution to thought of any kind. However, I realise that this is not quite fair ...
545. Comets And Catastrophes [Journals] [Pensee]
... Libby has suggested (seminar at University of Houston, July 12, 1966) that "oil" is raining on Jupiter, and Oro and Han cite the possibility that petroleum is now being formed in localized areas of Jupiter. D. M. Hunten, in his recent paper, "The Atmosphere of Titan" (Comments on Modern Physics, Part C, Vol. 4, No. 5, 149-55), remarked on the "likely presence of gasoline, kerosene, and tar" on the Saturnian satellite. "One can readily imagine a deep layer of tar covering the surface." We might also take note of the fact that L. P. Gaucher ...
546. The Electric Universe (Slide Presentation & Notes) [Advert] [Journals] [Aeon]
... 1997. "Thornhill's presentation offers a visual invitation to toss aside the straightjacket of paradigm paralysis and to explore the Solar System from an electric point of view. He covers an enormous range of phenomena, from subatomic particles through stellar evolution, floodlighting our understanding of the universe with insights garnered from mythical symbols, space probes, and the plasma physics lab .. . "Thornhill found his motivation to leave the comfortable highway of orthodox astronomy and explore the lonely out-back of a new paradigm in the study of catastrophist mythology. Along the way, he incorporated insights from plasma physics and atmospheric electrical phenomena. The process of synthesizing these viewpoints into a new paradigm involved years of research . ...
547. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... this." Analog declined to print any letters commenting on this paean. George O. Abell, University of California at Los Angeles astronomer, provides the last two U.S . reviews. The Spring/Summer Skeptical Inquirer (formerly The Zetetic) contains a 3,300 word review [22] which was adapted for the August Physics Today, and trimmed to 900 words [23]. Whereas the long version was inflammatory, the short version was well-suited to its professional audience. Abell is explicit that "a comet was ejected from the planet Jupiter about the middle of the second millennium B.C ." Themes common to both treatments include: ". . ...
548. Wegener Legacy [Journals] [SIS Review]
... unable to come up with a convincing mechanism whereby continental drift could occur. It's all very well to show that there is an almost perfect geometric fit between the east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa; but it is difficult to convince anyone that the continents were once actually joined if it is impossible to conceive of any physical process by which they could subsequently have drifted apart. The same objection also applied to much of Wegener's other circumstantial evidence - the existence of identical species on land masses now separated by vast expanses of water, the inability of all the world's water to account for the huge land areas once simultaneously glaciated if the continents were then in their ...

550. Ash [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 1: (Winter 1973-74) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VI" Home | Issue Contents Ash "Ash" -the short monosyllable suggests not only the physical end product of radiocarbon tests, but also something of the asperity engendered by prolonged attempts to have them made and interpreted. So much labor of mobilization, it seems, for such ambiguous results. And yet the story, which is often one of frustration, has its moments of triumph. At the least, as Velikovsky remarked to one of his correspondents, it "reads like a very adventurous tale." Copyright 1974 Immanuel Velikovsky Our aims in publishing these letters are several. ...
